CROPS AND PLANT FOOD.

The Farmers Profits Dependent on the
 Proper Management of Fertilizers.
 All crops require at least three spe- cial articles of food, viz: Nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, and a manure or fertilizer which is deficient in one of these elements of food Is use less unless the soil is well supplied with the other two. Lime is indispens- able for plant growth, but it is gener- ally supposed that the soil always con tains abundance of this kind of food. This supposition is by no means always we'll founded, and is most likely wrong in most cases, and hence lime is as necessary as any of the others. Good stable manure contains, when fresh, in a ton of 2,O0O pounds, g to 10 pounds of nitrogen, 10 pounds of potash, 4 to 5 pounds of phosphoric acid and 11t pounds of lime. so that dressing of 10 tons per acre furnishes to the soil only 100 pounds of nitrogen. 100 pounds of potash, 50 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 115 pounds of lime. But as the manure is applied to a field, as rule, only once in five years, the supply of plant food in this way is clearly inadequate when we consider that the soil is not a reservoir of fertility, but merely a laboratory in which plant food is manufactured from raw materials furnished for the pur- pose, or is a means of conveyance of soluble and available fertile elements from whatever fertilizers are applied to it for the food of the crops.
 The farmers profits are realized from a proper management of the plant food which he provides for his crops; just as the wise use of food provided for his cattle brings profit in proportion to it's effective use Moreover, as much of the profits from the livestock depends upon a wise choice of the kinds select ed, so the profit from the crops depends upon the judicious selection of the plants grown. And first, the farmer should always supply all his domestic needs. He should purchase noth- ! lIl2 IlldG nG Shh PANN'"SS' --S is double gain; he has all his domestic supplies, and he saves the money which would otherwise be expended in purchasing them. This we consider the first duty and business of the farmer His bread, bacon, nut ton, poultry, eggs, butter, milk, fruit, and, if possible, beef. should all be homegrown. There was time, still in remembrance of old farmers, when the clothing and domestic linen and woolens were made from homegrown flax and wool, and the shoes were made of the beeves' hides, tanned and made up on shares by proficient neighbor, whose experience included the art of tanning and shoemaking. These domestic arts, however, are now necessarily obsolete. For our present more highly civilized manner of living demands all the care and time of the women of the household, and the feed ing of the special artisans makes busi- ness for the farmer. The judicious selection of crops to be grown IS as inn portant to the farmer as any other branch of his business. N r. Tunes

Music in the Family.

An excellent clergyman, possessing much knowledge of human nature, in- structed his large family of daughters in the ordinary practice of music. They were all observed to be amiable and happy. A friend inquired if there was any secret in his mode of education. He replied: "When any thing disturbs their tempers say to them Sing; and if I hear them speaking against any person I call them to sing to me; and they sing away all causes of discontent and every disposition to scandal. " Such a use of this accomplishment might seem to fit a family for the com pany of angels; young voices around the domestic altar, breathing sacred music at morning and evening devo- ton, are a sweet and touching accom- paniment.-MrS. SigOWrney.

The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not pride themselves on always having the correct time; and wonderful and delicate mechan- isms are devised to enable them to do SO
 But the more delicate chronometer IS made, the more subject it becomes to de- rangement, and unless it be kept always perfectly clean, it soon loses it's usefulness.
 What wonder, then, that the human ma chinese much more delicate and intricate than any work of Man-shouZd require to the main-spring of this complex structure, and on the impurities left in the blood by a disordered liver, depend most of the ills that flesh is heir to. Even consumption (which is lung scrofula), is traceaFle to the imperfect action of this organ. Kidney diseases, skin diseases, sick headache, heart disease, dropsy, and long catalogue of grave maladies have their origin in tor Did, or sluggish liver. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, by establishing a healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as a cure and preventive of these diseases.

In estimating the value of manure it must not be overlooked that the water is a prominent ingredient In 35 tons of ordinary barn-yard manure there are 25,OOO pounds of water, 25O pounds phosphoric acid, 200 pounds potash, and 225 pounds nitrogen. This estimate, however, depends upon the kind of manure; but the proportion of plant food is small compared with the bulk.

Why Men Fail.

Few men come up to their highest
measure OF success. Some fail through
tilnidity Or lack of nerve. They are
unwilling to take the risks incident
to lite, and fail through fear IN ventur-
ing On ordinary duties. They lack
pluck. Others fail through zmpru~
denca, lack OF discretion, care or sound
Judgment. They -overestlmate the
future, and build ar castles, and ven
ture beyond their depth and fail and
fall. Others, again, fail through lack
Of application and perseverance,. They
begin with good resolves, but soon get
tired of that, and want a. change.
thinking they eau dc much better at
something else. Thus they fritter life
away, and succeed at nothing. Others
waste time and money, and fail for
want Of economy. Many fail through
rainous habits; tobacco, wniskey, and
beer spoil tl,en1 for business, drive their
best customers from them, and scatter
their prospects of success. Some fail
for want Of brains. education> and fl.
ness for their calling; they lack a
knowledge OF human nature and OF the
motives that actuate men. They have
not qualified themselves for their occu-
patton by practical education.
